Why Brussels? Neruda’s ‘título absolutamente enigmático’ by Moran, D

“…<p>The primary purpose of this article is to propose a solution to longstanding literary mystery, namely, why Neruda&rsquo;s disconcertingly enigmatic poem &lsquo;Bruselas&rsquo; (from&nbsp;<em>Tercera residencia</em>&nbsp;[1947]) has a title which seems to bear little if any relation either to the city of Brussels itself or to its sometimes bewilderingly obscure content and imagery. …”

Impostor syndrome and pretense by Levy, N

“…I argue that we are especially likely to notice pretense when we’re made self-conscious, and that failing to match the stereotype of one’s profession or domain of expertise tends to give rise to self-consciousness. Self-consciousness is elicited by certain cues; this fact explains not only the greater vulnerability of the members of some groups to it, but also explains why the empirical data has not yet provided evidence for this greater vulnerability. …”

Experimental and numerical evaluation of composite floor systems under fire conditions by Tan, K.-H., Nguyen, T.-T.

“…This paper presents novel experimental results and observations from three one-quarter scale tests on two-way concrete slabs supported by protected steel edge beams under fire conditions. The sizes of the protected secondary edge beams were varied to study the effect of beam stiffness on the fire behaviour of the assemblies. …”
